Historically, Jewish identity was built around the image of Jews as perennial victims, the objects of Gentile hostility--from the early pogroms, Crusades, mass expulsions, and the horrors of the Inquisition to the Holocaust. This is the so-called ideology of affliction. Choosing Survival examines what happens to Jews--in the U.S. and Israel--when such views are no longer credible. Some Jews, Susser and Liebman find, persist in clinging to this idea whatever the evidence may indicate, and others develop alternative forms of Jewish identity. The authors, professors at Bar-Ilan University in Israel, express an intense uneasiness about the future of Jews, Jewishness, and Judaism, but they see a reassuring sign in Jewish Orthodoxy. They feel that if the religion is to survive as a distinct cultural identity, Jews need to learn from the Orthodox how to adopt a critical posture toward their surrounding culture. With exceptional insight, they explore this growing dilemma and propose what direction Judaism should take to survive.
